We performed a comparison between A10 Networks Thunder SSLi and Imperva DDoS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, Fidelis Security, A10 Networks and others in SSL/TLS Decryption."With the Thunder SSLi, we're better protected. We can stop use of VPN and proxies. We are better protected against dirty traffic coming back to our schools. Having a secure decrypt zone with the equipment lowers the chances that our security infrastructure could possibly miss an attack."
"We have several proxies in our environment, so we localized internet traffic between these proxies. Instead of getting a really huge proxy box, according to our size, we can use three boxes and share the traffic with A10's load-balancer feature."
"Its most valuable feature is its ability to do its job accurately, effectively, and very quickly. The amount of traffic that we have going through our system is astounding... The delay with the SSL decryption turned on is almost unnoticeable."
"DDoS protection and WAF are the most valuable features. It is easy to deploy a service. It is easy and quick to deploy to a new website."
"They're quite easy to install and quite easy to set up. Clients really like that. Especially when you're dealing with the cloud, it's really easy."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is easy to configure."
"It blocks all types of attacks."
"Scalability is pretty easy on the base platform. You just add another, and you're ready to go."
"Incapsula takes care of the CDN infrastructure and bandwidth volume, providing several enterprise "load balancing" features."
"The three-second service level agreement is already better than the competition."
"The most valuable features for us are the DDoS and Bot."
"I would like them to have a better UI (better universal design)."
"There is one thing I would like to see changed. In their features for setting things up, there is a templating system that would normally assist clients. However, we had a better time setting up the device either through the command line or through the interface and not using the templates that were pre-installed. So there is room for improvement to the templates for initial installation."
"It would be great if it supported SSL operations according to Active Directory users. For example, if we want to bypass one of the servers or a client's internet access for SSL interception, we have to do it according to the IP address. It would be better if we could do it according to the Active Directory username. A10 says they kind of support that but we haven't tested it."
"Imperva DDoS does not provide version control."
"A limited tool if you're looking to customize."
"The solution should integrate with something that looks at continuous security management."
"It would be beneficial to include vulnerability management in the solution, similar to what they have for their on-premise solution."
"I would like to see automated reporting to improve visibility."
"The solution needs to improve Integration with third parties for their on-prem deployment models. The integration is not that good yet."
"Users would benefit from better documentation. There is official documentation, but sometimes we need more detail. We have some use cases that are not so run of the mill. It would be great if there was a knowledge base that we could go to for more answers."
"The cost could be lower; our end clients need to have a high budget to purchase this solution."
